They say identifying a problem is half of the solution. But there is a burden that comes with the revelation. The part they didn’t say is about removing the wedge of ignorance, and unleashing weight of truth to the consciousness.

I talk to myself a lot, out loud sometimes. Mainly in two forms, either in frustration or in persuasion. In frustration, when I eagerly try to amend my actions. In persuasion, when I calmly address my perceived shortcomings. I’m constantly trying to better my personality. This breeds anxiety whenever I notice a trend that needs to be corrected. Being better has to begin with one’s effort.
